And your comparrison of Obama with Sammy Davis is probably the dancing skills they both share? Right?

No no no, that's all wrong. Care to buy a vowel?

Seriously, this Obama thrashing is going to have the opposite of the intended effect. People whom like Obama just a little bit more than Mrs. Kankles
and Mr. Marionette Arms will rally behind him after seeing this hatchet job. The only way to change minds with people, both politically or otherwise,
is to simply post facts AND post the facts proving why another candidate will be better. Some still won't listen, but this thread isn't
accomplishing a damn thing as it is, so perhaps a smarter approach is a better idea.

First, there's nothing Obama's done to distinguish himself as a "good" person. He's a career politician who's done little more than work his
way up in the ranks of the Democratic party. I'm not sure what, if anything, that he's done that would make anybody believe he's a "good"
person. Giving speeches and making people feel warm and fuzzy inside isn't the same as volunteering at a homeless shelter for example.

Second, I posted a thread for people to tell us why they support Obama based on issues. It will take you about 1 minute to read the 1 or 2 posts in
which people actually cite any Obama policy that made them take Obama's side.

Jamie, that is errie, you have to wonder if the Close Encounter theme was on purpose or what. Obama is no Alien and doesn't have Alien type
Intelligence, that is for dam sure.

i'd be careful what one wishes for..........bush was supposedly (and still is....supposedly) an idiot......but if he was truly an idiot and not just
masked as one, would he been able to do what he has?

he's done exactly what he's wanted so far.......started the "train" towards biblical apocalypse by becoming alies with isreal, while becoming
ememy's with tehran and other major Muslim countries/states/area's of the world........all of this stacked on top of a fake terrorist attack (blamed
on Muslims) and you have a crusade.........yep......be careful what you wish for......

Obama did not even vote for the passage of the patriot act in 2001..he was not a member of congress. He did however fight tooth and nail to put more
protections for our rights back into it when it came up for renewal. jetxnet even posted a link that explained that in detail.

The fact that this thread is filled with uneducated bias and mud slinging leads me to believe there is not much more to this Obama bashing than hatred
for a certain skin color. I was hoping for debate and found myself having to brush off the dirt of this thread....Have a nice day.

This whole idea that "he can't do worse"*(said with a goofy voice), is pure spin and nothing more than a chatch phrase. The FACT is it could get a
lot worse, we see things that are worse than we've seen in a while but we are still living immensely better than most of the world and even with
these bills introduced that could take our freedoms away for good they haven't been implemented on that grand a level yet, but with a stroke of a pen
we could be living in a police state. Oh, it could get worse, it could get a lot worse. And if he dismantles our nuclear defenses like he wants things
could go from poor, skip over worse and go straight to devastating.

To the people that basically say shut up, your opinion doesn't matter or I don't agree with it so it's baseless. Trust me you mindless tools, it
matters to a very very large portion of our population that actually takes these accusations seriously. But go ahead and stick your fingers in your
ears and make sounds to drown out the noise. Because this **** storm that is now blowing up in B.O.'s face is real and it is his fault for taking the
wrong path in life, now karma is here to kick his ***.

Of course, even James Cone, the radical founder of black-liberation theology, sees himself as synthesizing the moderation of Martin Luther King Jr.
with the radicalism of Malcolm X. Obama here seems to be calling for an inside/outside strategy like the one he would have learned working with
Chicago Acorn. Note Obama’s reference to the controversial tradition of “direct action” favored by Acorn (and earlier by Saul Alinsky, whose
tradition of radicalism the book is meant to carry on). Obama offers radicalism with a moderate face.

MYSTERY SOLVED So it would appear that Obama’s own writings solve the mystery of why he stayed at Trinity for 20 years. Obama’s long-held and
decidedly audacious hope has been to spread Wright’s radical spirit by linking it to a viable, left-leaning political program, with Obama himself at
the center. The revolutionizing power of a politically awakened black church is not some side issue, or merely a personal matter, but has been the
signature theme of Obama’s grand political strategy.

Lucky for Obama, this political background is unfamiliar to most Americans. There are others who share Obama’s approach, however. Take a look at
this piece by Manhattan Institute scholar Steven Malanga on “The Rise Of The Religious Left” and you will see exactly where Obama is coming from.
Malanga ends his account by noting that religious-left activists often partner with groups like MoveOn.org and attend gatherings featuring speakers
like Michael Moore. After the 2004 election, there was some talk of the Democratic party “purging” MoveOn and Moore. Far from purging its radical
Left, however, the Democratic party is now just inches away from placing it in the driver’s seat. That is the real meaning of the fiasco at Trinity
Church.

These Obama Haters on ATS are wrong when they call Obama supporters, fanatic sheeple. We are well informed people who have an interest in politics
and the future of America. We have all found plenty of reasons as to why our support is behind Barack.

Here's the deal:

The haters would like you to believe that Obama supporters blindly follow him because he is either; black, a good public speaker, white and feel they
owe it to blacks, or what ever other bogus thing they can do to attract other existing Obama-haters to open their mouthes jump into message boards or
blogs and spew lies about Obama supporters.

I am openly a Barack Hussein Obama supporter (*insert insult about how I think he is a messiah or some other lie here*), I had to mention his middle
name for all the racists who can't get past skin color.

Why do I support Obama? BTW, it's not any of the reasons the "haters" would *want* you to believe, so anyway.. I started out in the Kucinich camp
and loved the vegetarian food there btw

back in the 04' race and loved the guy. Once he dropped out and during the early part of the 08';
campaign my good friend told me all about Obama, yet I still wasn't convinced. It took me a while, after throughly reading his
Blueprint For Change PDF I felt inspired to say the least.
To see a man, who I could relate to (not via race as I am a white "goth" boy), but his stance on Energy (which I think is very important, in this
day and age we should be way more innovative, which Obama supports big time), also his stance on The War in Iraq, Creating & Keeping US JOBS, Health
care, Education, the ARTS, His Support of Gays/Lesbians(check out Obama Pride), Hunting, and so much more.. Honestly, I found really nothing I
disagreed with that would take away my support.

Sidenote; After Watching ENDGAME by Alex Joens here on ATS, my detestation for H.Clinton bloomed and the idea of a Bilderberger president left a sour
taste. It seems to me that the NWO fears Obama, who stands in the way of their sinister plans. Obama stands and has stood up for regular
Americans his whole life. He turned down high paying Wall Street opportunities to work in South Chicago to help those who lost their jobs, to help
them and their community get back on their feet. THAT right there is so NWO, the haters would have you believe.

Some, like my Republican mother wonder how he will accomplish what is outlined in the Blueprint For Change, but for me, what's most important is what
he has done so far on the streets or as a Freshman Senator. He is REAL, and Clinton (who I don't like) is a Bilderberger, another reason I like
Obama. Not to mention how Obama will edit NAFTA to help US workers, like me who have had their job outsourced to foreign countries, if you didn't
know he will take away the tax break Bush had given to companies who outsource and instead give tax breaks to companies who KEEP US jobs IN THE US!

Long story short, these haters who complain about Obama Sheeple have no solid-logical ground to stand on when they call us that. Anyone claiming that
Obama supporters follow blindly, are simply wrong.

We've watched the debates, searched for hours found the good and bad about ALL candidates and feel that at the end of the day Obama represents our
America. I and most Democrats, Some Republicans and Independents have plenty of logical reasons as to why our support is behind Obama.

I believe you have it all backwards... the Bush Sheeple are the scary one's in my opinion. It's about time someone like Obama came along and
motivated the American people from the bottom up, instead of electing a person because he's in the "Good ole boy" system.

What about the "Bushmaniacs" or "Bush people" that were in cult-like mass behind their stoic moron with no compassion??

Skip 4 years later... and 80% percent of his hardcore fans are standing at water coolers inventing backdoor exit strategies to bury his memory.

If you are that terrified over people gathering in mass wanting a change in this screwed up country... and if you fear Obama as a Hitler... I feel
sorry for you sir, because you are on the loosing team - what ever team that is??

I had to mention his middle name for all the racists who can't get past skin color.

Nice little rant about why your not a "sheeple" then go on to use a defense that is exactly one of things that makes you labeled as a sheep. Using
his race as a defense and jumping to the you must be racist and just can't get past his skin color is BS, how do you know who and who can't get past
his skin color, what about the people that don't care about that are we not worthy of our opinions.

Another typical attempt to detract attention from the accusations being put forth of Obama is to make it about Bush, wth does bush have to do with
electing a racist, unexperienced man with far left policies into office. Bush is dumb and did a poor job and.....your point, go from one extreme to
the other.

How can one sheeple call another group of people sheeple? It's just as bad to post a ton of videos blindly without a fluid discussion as it is to
believe in Obama blindly without first looking at his record.

Saying that, I won't be voting for Obama, but that's not because of a couple of crazies out there. It's because his record is not all too appealing
to me. To me, Ron Paul was the only person worth voting for, and now that he doesn't have a chance short of a miracle, I'll either send in a
write-in or vote for nobody.

Simple reason sir.... When Obama was just a senator no one cared if he had a million poor folks at his feet.

But, now that he's in line for the highest office in the land... (Bush's office to make the topical comparison) people are getting real-real edgey,
with spooky stories now they realize this black guy possibly could be the most powerful man in the world.

I don't know where you get the idea that the greavences most people have with B.O. are boogey man stories or something, how you can call them false
hurdles and bla bla. From my point of view sir, you are just blindly dis agreeing with us, are you calling me a liar when I tell you his actions have
left me offended? These aren't stories bro, these aren't fantasies made up by some racist white people in an attempt to frame him, it's real, these
accusations that have been laid out and his connections to very questionable groups and people are real, now wether you choose to believe he agrees or
was even aware that is up to you, but to call us liars and story tellers is not proof, the proof is in the pudding, bro. Now apparantley there is a
tape with his wife talking with louis farakhan calling us "whitey", btw the fact that they are even with farakhan is reason enough to condemn them,
farakhan is a strong believer that whites and jews should be exterminatted.

No, millions upon millions of people are paying attention to the "stories" because they are important and it doesn't matter how many people like
yourself are outthere that want to shut us up, this **** is real so get real and pay attention.

First of all who say's I'm ah Bro? It's like saying you are a bomb-laiden muslim terrorist with the black scarf hiding 90% of your face. I
didn't know imitating guy's from the middle East was a fashonable thing considering your political stance? Humm...

Of course all the right winged ultra patriots with "un-change" on their agenda are going to dig up every piece of Charmin Obama flushed down the
toilet... and they should.

Question: I understand you were fooled twice by the Clown - Bush.

I understand you are most likey pissed, and don't trust anyone running for president - I respect your paronoia. The guy you voted for turned out to
be a false profit... a Hitler. We can't change history- huh? But aren't you tired of stiff guy's, in stiff suits, lying to you only to put money
in their greedy pockets as you hand them a jar of Vasline??

Americans want a guy with a reasonably clean slate! Get all the DNA tests you can... gather for your facts on Obama... but in the end, you will find
he is squeaky clean compared to the snakey moron in office -- But as a crate-digging Obama basher you already know this!

The point here is... people are tired of the old guard and want a change... even if the change is with a blackman. Look at Obama's legions of fans
and you will find your answer.
